node/ax25d goes on the runn

[Peter <pc2a@pi4cc.nl>]

Hi

Running here a node with internet access.
This is the up-to-date Debian-sage with 2.4.27 kernel
The system is a dual pentium III-450 with the smp kernel installed, but also tried the
single kernel

I have noticed that from time to time a disconnect from the node or application (like
dx-cluster) the node makes very quick a connect/disconnect.

A look with listen gives a disconenct/connect  :
com1: fm DF5EY to PI4CC ctl DISC+ 17:55:54
com1: fm DF5EY to PI4CC ctl SABM+ 17:55:54
com2: fm DF5EY to PI4CC ctl SABM+ 17:55:54
com2: fm DF5EY to PI4CC ctl DISC+ 17:55:54
com1: fm DF5EY to PI4CC ctl DISC+ 17:55:54
com2: fm DF5EY to PI4CC ctl SABM+ 17:55:54
com2: fm DF5EY to PI4CC ctl SABM+ 17:55:54
com1: fm DF5EY to PI4CC ctl SABM+ 17:55:54
There are more than 300 line in a second !

This wil take CPU time and a grep node gives:
root     22972  0.0  0.1   1756   796 ?        S    11:23   0:00 /usr/sbin/node
root     27489  0.0  0.1   1756   796 ?        S    15:56   0:00 /usr/sbin/node
root     28449  0.0  0.1   1756   796 ?        S    16:36   0:00 /usr/sbin/node
root     29682 41.3  0.1   1756   792 ?        R    17:59   1:25 /usr/sbin/node
root     30272  0.0  0.1   1720   556 pts/1    S+   18:02   0:00 grep node

Killing procces 29682 makes the system happy and listen become nomal

Anu clue where to look to correct this?
